Hi All
I'm all for Option Three - There really isn't any other choice if we want to see SME continue to live and breathe and have more releases. I think the new current structure is doing a good job and will see us right long into the future. Regards Michael From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Greg Zartman Sent: Saturday, 29 June 2013 5:11 p.m. To: [email protected]; SME DevList Subject: [discussion] REQUEST FOR VOTE: SME Project Leadership It appears that there are some who feel the current Koozali Foundation and Board of Directors is illegitimate and has no community backing because it was formed instead of officially voted in. The current Foundation was formed under the direction of a US licensed attorney and follows standard Non-Profit Organization practices and guidelines. All organizations need some kind of leadership in order to make decisions for the organization; otherwise, the organization basically goes nowhere. The intention of all of those who have been working on this effort was and is to bring order to disorder and help grow the SME project and make it better. This is it - no agenda beyond that. Those on the current board essentially volunteered. Directly to the point: Since there are those who think the organization that was formed over the last six months is illegitimate because it wasn't voted on, let's vote. There are many people putting in a lot of their own personal time and money to build the current organizational structure. If this isn't what the community wants, then please let's put an end to it and stop wasting the time of those putting in the time and money to make the organization. Please don't just pass this message by. Vote on it so that we can move forward in a productive fashion without even the implication of illegitimacy, one way or the other. Here are the options I see: Option 1: Dis-ban the current board and foundation and go back to the status quo as of six months ago. Option 2: Keep the current Foundation, but elect a new board of directors. Option 3: Keep the current Foundation and board of directors.
